| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) is industrially used for the production of vinegar. Although many closely related strains have been reported, these strains have different phenotypic characteristics. To understand the genetic background underpinning their phenotypes, the genome sequencing of nine closely related AAB strains was performed, and compared with their phenotypes. As a result, strain isolated from Thailand, SKU1108, was most closely related to strain isolated from Africa and showed highest thermotolerant phenotype, suggesting that their strains adapted to tropical niches. It was suggested that their thermotolerant phenotype is directly affected by their thermotolerant genes.
